"I'm doing this for survival, not to betray Cayden. Besides, we'll just be touching. Nothing will happen," Emily thought as she took off her bathrobe. After preparing her position, she said, "Come in!" She turned her back to Prince. Her hands were clenched in front of her chest, being on guard in case any naughty fingers tried to cross the line. However, as soon as Prince touched her skin, her worries disappeared. The man just pressed his chest against her back. There's still some distance to the bottom. His hand that slipped into the crook of Emily's neck ended up on her arm. While his other hand politely cupped Emily's hands as if protecting them from the cold. "Is this enough? Are you comfortable?" he whispered, making the hairs on Emily's neck bristle. "Y-yes." Emily's eyes fluttered as she caught her breath. "Now let's sleep. We have to continue the mission once the storm passes." "Yes. Hopefully the storm won't last long. Good night, Miss Harper." Emily nodded slight
After showering, Emily came out awkwardly. She didn't know how to interact with Prince. She even ran when she entered the bathroom earlier. But as it turned out, the room was empty. "Where did he go? Why didn't he ask my permission?" Emily muttered in surprise. She didn't realize that her lips were pouting. With languid steps, Emily approached the table. A piece of paper was stuck to the cup there. "Drink this chocolate while it's warm. I'll be back before breakfast arrives. Don't open the door for anyone but me." The corners of Emily's lips lifted slightly. "Is he a bodyguard or husband? Why is his message so sweet?" After removing the paper, Emily enjoyed the chocolate slowly. She felt so peaceful until suddenly, she heard a knock on the door. "Who is it?" Emily got up from her chair. "Breakfast, Mademoiselle." Emily's eyes lit up. Her hand moved casually towards the doorknob. However, remembering Prince's message, she didn't open it. "Merci. Just put it there. I'l
When Emily treated his wound, Prince could no longer hide his emotion. He was smiling from ear to ear. No matter how long Emily grumbled, her concern felt warm to him. "Done! Please take good care of this bandage. Don't get it in contact with water again. Even though you're responsible for looking after me, you can't neglect yourself. Don't get hurt again, understand?" Prince nodded with a happy face. "Understood, Miss." "Good. Now, show me your abs." Prince widened his eyes. "Did I hear that right? You ... want to see my stomach? For what?" Emily pursed her lips. While pretending to tidy up the table, she muttered, "I splashed you with hot chocolate. You said your skin was red at that time." The warmth in Prince's heart grew wider. With a bigger curve of his lips, he lifted his t-shirt. "Relax. I won't ask you to take responsibility. I'm fine." Emily glanced briefly. The bodyguard's muscles looked perfect. Remembering their closeness last night, her heart started beat
"Why, Monsieur? Why can't I know where Sky is?" Emily asked with a worried expression. "Because she doesn't want that." Emily's shoulders grew heavier, and her breath did too. "But I really want to see Sky. There's an important thing I have to ask her. Can't you help me, Monsieur?" Hearing Emily's hoarse voice, the old man began to feel pity. "What do you want to ask her?" Emily's breath hitched. She glanced at Prince, hesitated for a moment. "Only Sky knows where Cayden is," she answered with her head bowed. Prince couldn't help but widen his eyes. His throat got choked, but he tried hard not to show surprise. Meanwhile, Monsieur frowned. "Who is Cayden?" Emily smiled bitterly. Raising her head, her gaze dimmed. "He is the man of my future. We promised to meet again. But until now, he hasn't come. Lastly, Sky said she had met Cayden. But then, she disappeared too." "You think they end up together?" "No," Emily shook her head swiftly. "I know very well that Sky s
"Prince," Emily shook her bodyguard's arm, "answer me. What’s your real name? Are you Cayden?" Prince remained silent. His eyes fluttered. "Answer me, Prince. Who are you? Are you Cayden?" Emily's voice became more and more stressful. Suddenly, Prince let out a laugh. "You think of me as Cayden again? Do you expect your first love to be as handsome as me?" "I'm not joking, Prince! If you weren't Cayden, it’s impossible for you to know about that promise." Seeing Emily's red eyes, Prince returned his serious expression. He regretted trying to divert the conversation with a joke. "Sorry if I disappoint you, Miss Harper. But, I knew it from you. You told me that promise yourself." "No! I never told you!" "Yes," Prince nodded with a deeper gaze. "You mentioned it when you were delirious last night. You kept asking why Cayden still hasn't kept his promise." Emily sighed in disbelief. She wondered why Prince was still in denial. "I haven't been delirious since I was 10 y
"I'm sorry." Prince's tongue felt numb. "I just wanted to cheer you up. Do you still want to continue the mission now?" Emily glanced cynically. "Of course. I'll see Sky, ask her where Cayden is. As soon as she points at you, I'll strangle you until you run out of oxygen." Prince no longer replied. He just sighed, pressing the gas pedal deeper. He didn't know that his attitude was actually making Emily even more annoyed. Upon arrival at their destination, Prince opened the car door for Emily. He offered his hand as usual. However, Emily did not accept his kindness. She got out by herself, still with an annoyed expression. "If you're not Cayden, don't care too much about me," she muttered curtly. Prince could only sigh in resignation. However, seeing where Emily was going, he quickly closed the door and chased after her. "Miss Harper." Emily didn't answer. "Miss Harper!" "What?" Emily turned around with wide eyes, making Prince's breath spontaneously hitched. "Her h
"Dear Emily, Sorry I'm avoiding you again. I actually want to meet you too, but later. Not now. There are still things I have to take care of. Once everything is finished, I will see you again. So please, don't follow me anymore. Go home. Poor Louis if you run away like this. Then about Cayden, if I may give you advice, don't wait or look for him again. You should open your heart to another man." Emily sighed in disbelief. Annoyance rose in her eyes. "Did Louis pay her to convey this message? How could Sky agree with him? She's the one who has always supported me the most with Cayden," Emily grumbled. Prince, who had been peeking, quickly straightened his back again. His breath was heavy, his fists tightened. He was now convinced of what Sky had found. "Madame, is it true that Sky wrote this? This is not like her." Emily leaned forward, shaking her head without any doubt. "I'm sorry if you're disappointed, Mademoiselle. But that's her message." "Where is she?" The
"What are you talking about? You are my bodyguard. As long as this mission isn't over, of course you have to go wherever I go. Besides, I won't let you escape. When I meet Cayden later, I will throw you in front of him. He must teach you a lesson because you have pretended to be him," Emily said curtly. Prince turned wide-eyed. "I'm not pretending. It's you who assume that I—" "So, do you have a NZ visa or not?" Emily interrupted. Prince's lips pursed. "What a coincidence, I was there last year. My visa is still valid." Emily's eyes widened. Last year, she also went to NZ. Not wanting to add to assumptions, she got up from the chair. "Then, let's go. Don't waste time. The journey will be quite long, and my time is limited." Before Emily could take a step, Prince grabbed her arm. "Do you want me to carry you again?" Emily's eyes widened. She didn't expect Prince to dare to tease her. "You think I'm a child? I allowed you to carry me because my leg is injured. Now I can wa
